Bethenny Frankel Opens Up About "Difficult" Divorce

Since she announced her divorce from Jason Hoppy late last year, Bethenny Frankel’s life has been anything but private: she's been a tabloid fixture, and her romantic life has fallen under intense scrutiny—is she or isn't she dating her friend Warren Lichtenstein?— as she raises the couple's daughter, Bryn.

"It's been hard," she tells Life & Style "It’s been difficult to stay sane."

Despite the burdens of going through a divorce—Bethenny and Jason are reportedly still living together, raising their little girl—she's trying to see an upside to her pain.

"For every rough thing there’s a reason for it, and there’s a reason you had those struggles," she continues. "When you’re going through a rough time, you have to say, 'I know I’m going through these hard things and even though it’s difficult to see it clearly...the light is coming at the end of it.'"
